CfP for @imc-leeds.bsky.social 2027: "Queer and Trans Medieval Communities" 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ We welcome papers (15-20min) from all disciplines of medieval studies by scholars at any level, on any aspect of medieval queer and trans community, in person or virtual. Abstracts due 31 Aug. We'd love to hear from you!
As the existence of the trans and queer community is under constant and
increasing threat across the world – with alt-right political rhetoric in the West seeking to rupture solidarity for and within the global queer community – the work of the historian has never been more vital. Historians have long found solidarity and recognition of queer experiences and practices with individuals and groups of the past. In concert with the wealth of current research being produced in trans and queer medieval studies, this panel session responds to the urgency of this present moment. In the face of existential threats, we recognise the importance of finding community with one another, which includes understanding our community has a history. This panel session seeks not only to contribute to transtemporal and scholarly trans and queer community building, but to better understand what historical trans and queer communities and practices may have looked like – including the mechanisms and structures that attempted to preclude such community formations. Engaging with and making legible such histories constitutes an act of compassion both with historical actors and with living members of our community today. It also constitutes an act of resistance, by finding existence and continuity in community.
Presentations may address but are not limited to the following topics:
-Cultivating cross-temporal queer and trans community
-How trans and genderqueer experiences manifest in the Middle Ages
-Spaces in which queer/trans community could be manifested in the Middle Ages
-Communal failure or loss of community
-A failing or absence of a trans and queer community
-Texts, codes, etc. used in constituting queer and trans communities in the Middle Ages
-Methodologies available for talking about trans and queer communities
